so in march of this year, luck was running loose in san francisco and murdered five people. mr. speaker, these are tragic cases that occurred in our nation. there should be consequences for countries like bangladesh, vietnam and cambodia who fail to take back their lawfully deported criminals. the blood of mississippi decker and the other victims are not only the fault of islam and the other felons but their countries. some of the other countries are cuba, pakistan, vietnam, jamaica and yes, our good buddies, the chinese. so what should we do? we should do two things. one, u.s. law should allow civil suits against these offending countries for damages without any caps on compensation. and, two, freeze legal visas to nations that refuse to take back their criminals. mr. speaker, did you know a similar law already exists in the u.s., but the state department won't enforce the law for supposedly diplomatic reasons. according to secretary napolitano, d.h.s. and the state department are working with these offending countries to resolve these matters. that being the folks that are get

francisco, they can do a quick bar code off your driver's license, for example, and access your health care records so they know what you're on for prescription drugs, they know what kind of treatments you have. you might not be conscious. let's do that technology. do we have to do this in order to utilize more modern technology? we're moving that direction in the technology anyway. i suppose the health care czar will tell us just what technology we can use and set some mandatory parameters on how we get there. i am nervous about that. so there are some efficiencies. there is -- there are wellness plans that can be incorporated into health insurance programs that are incentives, and if we have those incentives people will do the right thing. if you lower my health insurance premium i'll lose a few pounds and i'll exercise a little more and i'll go in for a checkup a little more and they'll diagnosis the problems earlier and we'll live longer and healthier as a people. that's the free market. that's not a one-size-fits-all socialized medicine plan. these are the things that we should be

-- san francisco chronicle, the president promised energy rates would necessarily skyrocket, end of quote, under his policies. since february of 2009, the price of gas has jumped from $1.92 per gallon to an outrageous $3.72 per gallon. hardworking americans continue to watch as a substantial amount of each paycheck is diverted by rising energy costs, destroying jobs. although the president claims to have changed his policies, his decision to terminate the keystone pipeline project from canada shows that he remains dedicated to his campaign promise. house republicans are focused on helping americans feel relief at the pump by supporting legislation that expands supply and allows for the continuation of the keystone pipeline. i urge the president to put party politics aside, work with house republicans to find ways to lower energy costs which is necessary for american families. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman seek rec

it was the night of july 19, 1984, in san francisco, that geraldine ferraro changed the game, changed the rules, and changed history when she accepted the democratic party's nomination as vice president of the united states of america. i was there on the floor that night as a young delegate, and when she walked out on that stage, it was electrifying and inspiring beyond words. what her nomination meant to me and to millions of women everywhere, what she accomplished in that moment, and what she said that night, was all so important that her words still ring in my ear as if it were yesterday. she said, by choosing a woman to run for our nation's second highest office, you send a powerful signal to all americans there are no doors we cannot unlock, we will place no limits on achievement, if we can do this, we can do anything. that moment served as a hammer blow to the glass ceiling and a clarion call for a greater gender equality in our country. i remember reading "time" magazine and "time" magazine heralded her selection as a historic choice, but even more than that, it was a life chan
